After all the cross-Hudson rivalry over which state gets to claim the victorious Giants, it seems New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is taking his time in deciding if he will honor the Super Bowl champs in New York.

A Christie administration spokesman said that the governor’s schedule is still being finalized for Tuesday, but he was “not planning on being in the city” as of Monday afternoon. Eli Manning and company are set to parade up Broadway starting at 11 a.m. Tuesday.

Christie had campaigned for the team — who he emphatically calls the New Jersey Giants — to hold the parade in the Garden State instead. The Giants, of course, have played their home games in East Rutherford, N.J., since 1976.

“We’ve been supporting the Giants big since 1976 when they came to our state,” said Christie during a Monday morning interview on WFAN-AM radio. “All the facilities are in our state and most of their players live in our state. I think they are going to try to work something out for the residents of New Jersey.”

Christie announced that the Giants will hold a rally in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium at 3 p.m. Tuesday, stating on his Twitter feed Monday that “all Giants fans in NJ should be there.”

The governor is not alone in opting against commuting to Manhattan for the traditional ticker-tape parade for local champions. Former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine did not attend the Giants parade in 2008, when they last squeaked out a win against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. A spokeswoman at the time told the Star-Ledger that the governor was “busy with his plan to reduce debt and fund transportation into the future, among other important state business.” But, he was “extremely proud” of the Giants, she added.

One New Jersey official who had no hesitation about standing on the stage with the team Tuesday is James Cassella, the mayor of East Rutherford. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office extended an invitation to be in the parade on Monday afternoon, and Cassella said he was reorganizing his calendar to attend. (He also attended the parade in 2008.)

“I’m looking forward to it,” Cassella said in an interview. “It’s a great way to honor the team.”

Still, Cassella considers the Giants a New Jersey team — and he was happy when Bloomberg’s staff gave the team’s home turf a nod in their call to him. “They acknowledged that the stadium is in East Rutherford, N.J.,” he said. “They were very cordial.”
